Appliance Installations in St. Louis

Oven Ranges and Anti-Tip Devices

Oven range installation involves disconnecting and removing the old range, sliding in and leveling the new range, and connecting it to the existing 240-volt outlet (electric) or existing gas shutoff valve (gas). Anti-tip brackets are required by UL safety standards for all ranges and are mandatory on every range installation. The bracket prevents the range from tipping when the oven door is open and weight is placed on it a real safety concern in homes with children.

Range Hoods

Range hood installation mounts the hood above the cooktop at the correct height, connects ductwork from the hood to the exterior exhaust, and wires the hood to the junction box above. The key variable is ductwork routing to the exterior. Recirculating (ductless) hoods filter air through charcoal rather than venting outside and are a practical alternative where exterior venting is not possible.

Over-the-Range Microwaves

Over-the-range microwave installation removes the old unit and installs the new one secured to the cabinet above and the wall behind, with venting either ducted to the exterior or recirculating through charcoal. The microwave plugs into a dedicated outlet in the upper cabinet. If that outlet does not exist, we advise on the electrical requirement before proceeding.

Dryer Exhaust Duct Replacement: The Safety Issue Most Homeowners Don’t Know About

Dryer exhaust duct replacement is the most safety-critical service on this page. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately 14,000 to 16,000 home structure fires involving clothes dryers occur in the United States annually. The leading cause accounting for roughly 32 to 34% of those fires is failure to clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct. Lint buildup restricts airflow, causing the dryer to overheat. Lint is highly flammable.

FIX St. Louis replaces dryer exhaust ducts with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, which the CPSC and NFPA both specify as the correct material. Flexible plastic or foil accordion duct — what most dryers ship with — sags, accumulates lint in the folds, and is not rated for dryer exhaust use. Properly installed rigid metal duct runs straight with minimal bends, stays cleaner longer, and dramatically reduces fire risk.

Dryer Exhaust Duct Safety – What St. Louis Homeowners Should Know

The NFPA and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) both specify that dryer exhaust ducts should be rigid or semi-rigid metal NOT the flexible plastic or accordion-style foil duct that many homes have installed.
 
Warning signs your dryer duct needs attention: clothes take more than one cycle to dry • the outside of the dryer feels unusually hot • the laundry room feels more humid than usual after a cycle • the duct has not been inspected or replaced in more than three years.
 
FIX St. Louis replaces dryer exhaust ducts with properly rated rigid metal duct, routed with the minimum number of bends to the exterior exhaust point.

Dr. Steve’s Take:

Dryer fire risk is one of the five plagues Dr. Steve identified that St. Louis homeowners face and often overlook. The dryer vent is among the most commonly ignored fire hazards in residential homes — and one of the most preventable. If clothes are taking noticeably longer to dry, or the dryer is running noticeably hotter than usual, the exhaust duct should be inspected. FIX St. Louis can assess and replace it in a single visit.
